The correct answer is C. RQPS.
The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of the paragraph, which is the December dance and music season in Madras. The second sentence, P, provides a specific example of the abundance of music that is available during this season. The third sentence, Q, describes the atmosphere of expectation that surrounds the season. The fourth sentence, R, provides another specific example of the way in which the season is celebrated. The fifth sentence, S, summarizes the main point of the paragraph, which is that only those artists who have been carefully nurtured will be able to survive the storm of competition. The sixth sentence, S6, provides a final example of the way in which the season can be both beneficial and destructive.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option A, QRPS, places the sentence that provides a specific example of the abundance of music (P) before the sentence that introduces the topic of the paragraph (S1). Option B, QRSP, places the sentence that describes the atmosphere of expectation (Q) before the sentence that provides another specific example of the way in which the season is celebrated (R). Option D, RQSP, places the sentence that summarizes the main point of the paragraph (S) before the sentence that provides a final example of the way in which the season can be both beneficial and destructive (S6).
